Yes, you can eat mozzarella raw and it is perfectly safe to do so. Raw mozzarella is often used in popular dishes like Caprese salad, where fresh slices of mozzarella are combined with tomatoes and basil. It has a creamy, mild flavor and a slightly rubbery texture compared to when it is cooked. Fresh mozzarella is typically made from pasteurized milk, which is safe to consume without cooking, but if it is made from raw (unpasteurized) milk, it may not be safe, especially for pregnant women. Raw mozzarella is enjoyed in salads, sandwiches, or on its own and provides a versatile and tasty addition to many dishes.
